2.1.3
Configuration of data logger
–
read and change the data logger configuration by means of
the SW in part Configuration
–
Configuration of data logger (icon i). Detailed description
of data logger configuration is in
part DESCRIPTION of CONFIGURATION and MODES of
DATA LOGGER .

set data logger Name, Date and Time in data logger

select suitable Type and range of input channel corresponding with character of connected
input signals

assign names to each measured point and optimize the display for your requirements (signal
conversions, decimal point position etc.)

switch on each input channel needed and set record function:
- on channels where recorded value with fixed interval is required, use Continuous record
with fixed interval.
- if record with fixed interval only under certain conditions is required, use Conditional
record.
- if only values and time under defined conditions are required, use Sampled record
- each type of record can be limited in time
- different record modes can be combined

if needed set alarm functions
- first define conditions for consequent actions
- assign to each alarm conditions for creation of alarm
- assign to each alarm actions to be performed in alarm creation (lightening of LED diode
on data logger panel, activation of ALARM OUT output, activation of audible
indication, sending SMS message, sending e-mail etc.)
- maximum four conditions and two different alarm actions on one channel can be
defined; if there is a need for one channel to link several alarms (maximum four), it is
enabled to use available alarms from different channels
- activity of output ALARM-OUT can be cancel by the user directly from data logger or
remotely, at the same time it is possible to record it (including information on way of
canceling)
- changes of state for each alarms can be recorded separately

if there is a need during data logger operation to describe from its keyboard parts of record
with predefined notes, it is enabled by means of Processes.

MS6 data logger does not enable to switch different configurations from the instrument
keyboard during operation. To switch to different configuration use the PC program

if it is required to secure data transfer and access to data logger and program functions,
system of passwords and access rights can be used
Read chapter
APPLICATION NOTES , where detailed information on several applications are
described.
2.1.4
Usual work with data logger

reading, viewing, archiving and print/export recorded data from selected data logger or from
file on disk

on-line viewing of measured values
–
Display mode, enables to watch simultaneously all
connected data loggers. This mode can be shared simultaneously on several computers in the
network

performance of actions based on created alarm states
Instructions for regular check and maintenance of data logger are specified in part
RECOMMENDATIONS for OPERATION and MAINTENANCE .
